My surgery is in 2 days. Getting excited! One more day on my pre-liquid diet. yay!!!!

I'm so hungry! Day 5

The main thing is that you are back on track. Thar's what really counts. You can do this!!!

My surgery is in Montreal at the Sacre Coeur Hospital. The way it works for me is that I am on a public sector list. That is why it took in total 3 years for my surgery to come about. Had I went private I could had had the surgery almost immediately. But I would it would have cost me. This way the province pays for the surgery.

I'm scheduled for October 5th. I live in Montreal Canada. Today is day 4 liquid diet. I am allowed to eat raw or steamed vegetables in between. Are you ?

October 5th is my surgery date. What an adventure this will be. Feeling a little nervouse but can't wait!

It's only my second day on the liquid diet but I feel that it's not going to be easy. But I don't want to fail either so I will take it one day at a time.

my surgery date is October 5th. On my second day of the liquid diet. Feeling okay. A little nervous!

I've just started my liquid diet today. My surgery date is October 5th. I am at my highest weight at 225. I am 59 years old.

Can’t stay like this much longer. I realize that I have to make some serious changes in my life. I’ve decided to write a sort of journal of my experience of going through this time in my life. I admit that I am somewhat scared and anxious but it is something that I want very much. I want to feel HEALTHY again.

Just had my first shake. Not so bad. Probably won’t say that after a few days of these drinks. I’m nervous and I don’t know why. I realize that I have to do this for 2 weeks. Will I succeed? I will really try my best. To come this far. I must push myself like I never have before.

I have all the co-morbidities that go with the weight gain such as high blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes, joint, back pain and sleep apnea. Very dangerous combination.
